His vocal coaching skills are another area where Bazil’s skills are highly appreciated and demanded. Through the years, he has instructed singers such as Yazz, Eterna, Louise, Dina Carroll, as well as hundreds of students who attend his vocal workshops, with the intention of learning or improving their singing skills.
